Hey maybe a group of creatives deciding that they want control over their content and don't want to waste time and resources begging for ad revenue is like. A good thing

#op agreed but doesnt dropout have like. triple the content output #and a huge team of creators #and even that i have to watch the clips and peices of scrap i fins on youtube and tiktok bc i cant afford them #so its normal for a huge amount of us to be distraught :( #if they joined an already-existing streaming service it wouldve lessened the blow #idk. clesrly they needed it business-wise. but it might harm them not help them in the end no matter how much we love them

Watcher is not removing their backlog of videos from YouTube. What is there will remain. source:

However, according to Bergara, Watcher is not fully exiting YouTube: It will still keep its backlog of videos on YouTube, and going forward will put the first episodes of new seasons on YouTube — while the full new seasons will be exclusively available on the Watcher streamer.

#ok some good news at least

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

all these retro style games that are like "NO tutorials NO handholding" apparently forgot about the little books that used to come with your game that detailed all the mechanics, controls, special moves, lore, maps, collectables, means of unlocking additional content, character bios, etc

I love the word "partner"

Are we married? Are we dating? Are we running a small business together? Are we in the middle of an elaborate plan to kill an ancient godlike being?

You'll never know

Can't overemphasize how useful it is to own multiples of important things.

Deodorant? One in the bathroom and one in my closet, because those are the places I'm most likely to be naked and remember I need it. Lotion? One in the bathroom and one next to my bed, also because those are the places I remember it. I keep an air freshener in the bathroom and another one next to the place where I air out my sweaty work clothes.

I have one inhaler in my backpack, one in my car, and one in my leg bag. Hair clips, headbands, and hair ties? Some on the wall hooks in my room, others looped around the car gearshift. Teriyaki sauce? A bottle in the kitchen fridge, and packets in my room in case I forget the bottle.

Yeah it's redundant, but I promise that the two-pack of deodorant "costs" less to me than spending a day sticky and damp. It isn't wasteful if the system makes you use the thing. Even the bowl on my desk for pocket stuff (knife phone wallet keys) has a spare car key in case I misplace the original.

People who expect me to remember stuff are wrong. I do what keeps me clean and fed and happy.

#as a dorm student especially #its a suitcase dorm so we go back home every weekend and pack a small bag to take #and i literally alwayd forget my essentials #so i just bought a bunch of copies #one copy for home and one for dorm room #and then i get a couplle extra for my shoulder bag and the bathroom #i have a total of 6 boxes of my allergy meds at any point bc i put some in my mom and dads cars as well lol #ones next to my beds and in every bag i own

this morning when i woke up i had sleep paralysis so to pass the time i pretended that i was battling an invisible wizard who had cast an immobilising spell on me, and i focused on this wizard and thought at him "YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE" in a really loud mental voice, and as soon as i did that the paralysis went away like literally immediately

most of the talk on this website about Game Changer is how Sam Reich psychologically tortures his contestants, but I want to make it clear to the uninitiated that he's actually extremely ethical about it

He sends out a company wide email and asks them to choose episodes based on a chili pepper rating system

meaning he doesn't put 🌶️🌶️ people into 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ episodes

they're also big on consent ie cast and crew have to be okay with it before they'll do nudity or something like that in an episode

it's like the bdsm of psychological torture. safe, sane, and consensual.

the contestants know what they're getting into, and they're full down

Neil including Jean in his deal with Ichirou. Neil being Jean’s “misplaced forever partner, an unfulfilled promise Jean stopped believing in years ago.” Jean watching out for Neil at Evermore. Neil repaying his debt to Jean by beating Riko. Neil touching his foot to Jean’s to ground him on more than one occasion. Him immediately ordering a hit on Grayson after receiving just a hint of what he’d done to Jean. Neil reminding Jean that Elodie too was a Moreau and that Jean is worth saving. I just can’t do it.

nora's plot is like here are some made up people that i've made to suffer EVERY TRAUMA and the most grievous lack of autonomy i could think of. and their story starts from the WORST point in their lives where things have gotten so bad that their only two options are to literally kill themselves or to fight back, but at that point they are so succumbed to the perceived truth of their demises that they recklessly choose to do something that they never would have done before because they think they're going to die anyways. BUT THEN the rest of the book is about them processing their trauma instead of just stuffing it into a little box and learning about themselves and finding a group of people who love them and trusted mentors and doing something they love for the right reasons and learning that they can get to a place where they can love life because they have chosen to actually deal with their issues instead of just thinking that there's no point because they don't have a future and it not only makes them better people but it helps the people around them AND THEN SHE MADE THE BOOKS BE 99 cents.

i'm screaming i'm crying i'm asking nora to open the door and let me in i just want to talk

#.aftg #99 cents !!!!!!

what do you mean neil josten knew to calculate the distance between him and an older man so he could easier avoid getting hit (and run away) when jean moreau calculated to stay within arm reach of his coach because “a coach who had to get up to strike hit harder than one who could simply take a swing”. i’m gonna be sick.

jean saying he needed to eat in the last chapter of the sunshine court was the healthiest thing any character has ever done in the entire 4 books so far
